Dear GOD. Perhaps the worst movie I've ever seen. From the blatantly obvious mistakes and continuity issues that will have you laughing out loud, to the "made out of foam" rubble, this movie plays as more of a comic version of "What not to do" film school training film! DON'T waste 4 hours of your life. How did SyFy manage to find the money and the bigger name actors to support this bowl of mush? Just awful. I feel sorry for anybody who actually spent more than an evening to completely watch this mess. Of course, I never go into any SyFy made movie expecting much at all, but even this was definitely bad for a SyFy made for TV film.

Spoiler alert!!! If you read the continuing paragraphs, I might just save you the time you could have spent watching this entire (for lack of better word) show, as calling it a movie would offend feelings of everyone from Lumieres to Bruce Willis. So if you feel that you must watch this whatevere, refrain from reading my review, as it will greatly reduce satisfaction (yeah, really) of watching it. For God sake don't watch it, I only did because the TV was tuned to the channel showing, and I was merely glancing it to determine how bad it is. And it is plenty bad enough.Well, about 45 minutes from the start, I wished the main character was raped and murdered in the police station, so the entire series would end right there. Unfortunately, she missed several good opportunities to finally die, only to help people turn meteor about by God damn NUCLEAR ROCKETS, only 40 miles from impact (well within atmosphere). Entire nuclear arsenal of every nation on Earth 100 times over wouldn't suffice for this feat in applied physics. Even if by some miraculous stretch of laws of physics it did suffice, what about a gaping hole in our atmosphere? It would be better if got hit by a meteor than the outcome of such an explosion.1. Ph.D. in physics wouldn't be very good at martial arts and would probably have succumbed to the rape/murder attempt right off.2. I will skip parts where they shoot meteroids down with Stingers and Patriots.3. So congratulations miss Survivor. You just made a 60 miles in diameter radioactive slag that will hit earth. Would you like your f*cking parade? Those missiles would be better used to put entire world out of mysery before impact.

My wife and I watched this two-part miniseries on DVD while recovering from post-Mardi Gras parade hangovers. Headaches notwithstanding, "Meteor" is the worst movie I've seen ever -- bar none. The only thing separating this movie from farce was that it wasn't written as a comedy. It was intended as a straight action/adventure flick.There is really no good starting point for the criticism of this movie. It was so bad I laughed out loud at several of the high-drama points. It was as if writer Alex Greenfield intentionally packed the story with every cliché, stock character, and stereotype he could find. It was clear he did no research and had no working knowledge of law enforcement, the military, or science, the three main subjects integral to the plot.The characters' decisions are the dumbest possible. The use of coincidence was ridiculous. And the near-miraculous tying together of the disparate subplots was idiotic.Although not by design, this movie truly was the theater of the absurd.I can't stress enough how bad it was. The writing made an episode of Seinfeld seem like MacBeth.Unless you are a writer and like to study the mistakes of other writers in hopes of learning from them, as I am, then your time would be better spent watching the grass grow than watching this movie.I thought I had seen bad movies before, but "Meteor" set a new standard.Chuck Hustmyre

This movie makes Ben Stein's creation 'Expelled' look like cutting edge science. It also makes Ben Stein look like a genius.The movie jumps from one ludicrously idiotic decision to another. For instance the professor that found the meteor apparently has crucial data on it that no one else has. It never strikes his mind to make a copy. Or e-mail it. Or anything a normal person would do.Instead he goes on a day long car drive after exclaiming the meteor will hit in perhaps a day...After he gets killed stupidly, his assistant manages to hitch a ride with a truck. She never tells the driver anything, and when he decides he wants to be with his family, she's like: "Oh sure, go be with your family, I'll find my way there". Apparently ignorant to the fact that they'll all be INCINERATED if she doesn't get there fast...Beyond this, the script writer probably can't even spell the word science (For the love of god, they try to 'obliterate' a moon sized rock with SAM missiles... In the atmosphere?!). And yes. It gets worse.I don't know how I managed to watch (read: survive) this entire movie, but I strongly suggest you do not try to as well.As a last minute edit, in line with other reviewers, I too believe that the actors made the very best they could of this movie. The acting was quite decent!
